Real-time traffic video from 1964 TrafficLand’s international cameras is to be added to data visualisation software company IDV Solutions’ Visual Command Center, offering customers increased situational awareness.
 
The integration of TrafficLand network video with Visual Command Center helps provide security operators with real-time information about risks to operations, threats to personnel and interruptions to supply lines.
 
Security operations teams at Global 2000 corporations and government organisations use Visual Command Center to obtain a single integrated picture of their asset locations and potential threats to those assets. Visual Command Center consolidates information about risk events, such as acts of terrorism, severe weather, civil unrest and disease outbreaks, with data from an organisation’s internal systems and other sources, on an interactive map and timeline.
 
When a potential threat is detected, Visual Command Center automatically alerts operators, who can use powerful visualisation, filtering and query tools to assess the threat and then act to mitigate risk.
 
“Real-time, location-based video from TrafficLand’s international network of traffic cameras delivers ‘eyes-on-the-ground’ awareness, which can help IDV Solutions’ customers more accurately assess risks and protect assets,” said Lawrence Nelson, CEO of TrafficLand.
 
“By partnering with an industry leader like TrafficLand, with an extensive network of traffic cameras, we can provide our customers with reliable, real-time intelligence for making decisions,” said Mark Morrison, CEO of IDV Solutions.  “This allows them to be proactive in protecting their operations.”
